The Friday night is more of the event for the weekend as it is broadcast on television and thus is more a spectacle with breaks between picks. While the Saturday is a whirlwind of picks that happen extremely quickly.

Although it says that you can purchase lower bowl seats, there are limited amounts due to the lower bowl seating being “primarily reserved for Draft-eligible players and their families, broadcast locations, and related media needs”.

No matter what it happens, it’s a fantastic event for hockey fans as they get a look at the future of the NHL realizes their dreams.

Gimme a break!!! In 1990 when Quinn drafted Petr Nedved in the first round it was free to get in. No wonder long time fans don’t go to games anymore. It ain’t the Nativity. It’s only a hockey draft. Wanted to boo Bettman in person but am not paying for it.
